The MRC is solely responsible for all administrative and competition-related aspects of the event, within the appropriate division, including collecting dues, rosters, and administrative materials, and enforcing UPA competition, membership, and eligibility rules.

The MRC provides assistance to the other RCs within the region. The MRC works with the other division RCs to achieve efficient and effective operations for the region. Sharing information on teams and field sites should help in organizing events. The MRC also maintains a team contact list for the region. The MRC should also provide feedback from players and teams to the UPA Administration.

• Maintain current regional team contact list
